Abstract

A system for the automated cultivation of plants includes a plurality of guide rail pairs (5) which support conveyor driven jigs (6) for carrying individual plants thereon. As the plants are driven by the conveyors (4), the driving elements or dogs (4a) on successive conveyors (4) are increasingly spaced, so as to allow for the steady growth of the plants. The guide rails (5) are arranged in a radial array to allow for increasing side-wise plant clearance, and are orificed as a means of providing the plants with air and nutrients.
